According to him, smaller pools are gradually winning the share of this market, and mining as a whole is becoming more decentralized.

If you compare the current data on hash rate distribution month ago, you can see that BTC.com and Antpool are no longer 42%. Approximately 30 % of the total bitcoin hash rate controlles by Bitmain pools. This, in turn, reduces the likelihood of the so-called "51% attack".

Among the commentators there are often skeptics. One of these suggested that the pools could switch to the Bcash (Bitcoin Cash) mining.
